Li Baizhen rolled his eyes.
"Last ti, you nearly lost your life. Can’t you be more careful? Besides, this scale is just ordinary for a Detective Workshop’s investigation. Just be at ease leading the team, consider it a drill. If you earn a few more significant accomplishnts, who knows, you might also climb to the position of a Detective Workshop leader and sit on an equal footing with ."
Detective Workshop leader? Not really interested.
Just getting to slash more people is enough.
Mount up.
"Let’s go!"
Fang Yu shouted and led the team away.
Those seven or eight level-ten guards, along with a few slightly more formidable subordinates of level-ten guards, all mounted their horses and followed, with Ning Youchun also among those who owned horses.
As for the rest, they were the ones without horses, who could only be on foot.
Like the pitiful Chen Cangwen.
"Eh? Eh! Assign a horse to too!"
He shouted twice, but cald down after being spoken to by Li Qianxuan.
Watching the team depart, Li Baizhen thoughtfully beckoned to his subordinates, gave a few instructions, then left on foot.
He was going to et soone.
Soone of the sa rank as himself.
...
It’s kind of, kind of thrilling.
Zhang Chenchen lay limp on the bed, beside her was a glamorous woman hardly seen in reality.
Her fingers gently drifted over Zhang Chenchen’s smooth skin, electrifying sensations sweeping over her once again.
The glamorous woman breathed into her earlobe.
"Another round?"
What virtual seductress.
Zhang Chenchen blushed and nodded slightly.
These past few days, she lived as though kept in luxury, not even visiting the Detective Workshop again.
Playing gas is indeed about enjoying oneself.
Toiling in reality is understandable, but why bother working in the ga? Just let loose and have fun.
She’s now living comfortably, eating and sleeping, with each al prepared by top chefs, daily activities attended to by servants.
Simply comfortable, one could say.
And the best part is, there’s soone like Han ngyu of such beauty...
Thud thud thud!
A sudden knock at the door interrupted Zhang Chenchen’s thoughts, and also doused Han ngyu’s mood.
"What is it?"
"Ma’am, a Detective Workshop leader is here to see you; he’s already waiting downstairs."
"Who?"
"Li Baizhen, Lord Li."
"Li Baizhen?"
Han ngyu’s brow furrowed slightly.
These days, with people like Kun Shanhai pledging allegiance to her side, it had indeed caused so friction with Li Baizhen.
But to visit her, was it necessary?
After all, Kun Shanhai was sowhat shrewd. Even though he pledged allegiance, he hadn’t hung his sign under her na yet.
Until the day he does, technically, he’s still one of Li Baizhen’s people.
Han ngyu more or less understood what Kun Shanhai was thinking.
Either he wanted to rise to power, replacing Li Baizhen.
Or he wanted to be a part of her faction, acting as her second in command.
Today Kun Shanhai could betray Li Baizhen, tomorrow he could betray her too. People like him, regardless of so capability, are not to be trusted.
Gently caressing Zhang Chenchen’s cheek.
"Be good, wait for to finish my business, and I’ll co back to continue."
She got up nude, donned a thin layer of clothing, barely concealing her form, and went straight out.
"Ma’am."
The old servant outside bowed very low.
"Lead the way."
"Yes."
Barefoot, she went downstairs and saw Li Baizhen’s slightly grinning expression.
"Han ngyu, can’t you wear more before coming down?"
"This is my house."
Han ngyu coldly smiled.
She took a seat opposite Li Baizhen, tea was served, and then the attendant withdrew.
"Speak, what brings you here?"
Han ngyu’s clothes were half-open, and even a small movent made the inside view all too clear.
Li Baizhen sighed in frustration.
It’s only because he has a family at ho, otherwise who could resist such temptation?
No wonder among his contemporaries, those under Han ngyu were of exceptional quality, and she had many who were willing to follow her.
With one call, she could marshal a response equivalent to that of two or three Detective Workshop leaders.
Han ngyu was just like that, unbelievably indomitable.
Li Baizhen straightened his expression and began to discuss serious matters.
"This morning, a demon was killed in the Prison."
Han ngyu was slightly startled.
Is that so?
She turned to the old servant beside her for confirmation.
"Yes, the news just ca in. One of Lord Li Baizhen’s level-ten guards took the lead, cleaning out the Prison, and many died. Among them, a demon in disguise was found and killed on the spot."
Han ngyu didn’t ask why there was no imdiate report.
While she was indulging in her room, the servants were not allowed to disturb her.
"A bit capable, it seems Li Bahu has so talent erging from his ranks, huh? What, is this visit to show off your achievent to ?"
Li Baizhen saw her natural and unpretentious deanor and couldn’t help but feel dubious, but he still said,
"The dead demon was disguised as a man nad Neng Yanwen, from the Qianlin Pavilion."
Qianlin Pavilion?
A chill ran through Han ngyu’s heart.
She seed to faintly understand why Li Baizhen had co to her door.
"It seems you rember. This morning, when my n were about to kill Neng Yanwen, there were objections in the Prison, claiming you wanted to save his life."
"...Yes."
Han ngyu did not deny, only her expression turned displeased.
Li Baizhen remained silent, rely watching Han ngyu as if waiting for an explanation.
Han ngyu didn’t hide anything, speaking with a sullen face.
"Yesterday, the master of Qianlin Pavilion sent a generous gift, asking to look after their Hospital Guardian."
"I had my people check; there were no issues, so I passed down the instruction. Those Foolish Underworld brothers who were injured by Neng Yanwen had taken the dicine Pill I provided, their lives were not difficult to save."
This was supposed to be a simple transaction.
The Foolish Underworld barged into Qianlin Pavilion to investigate, and the Hospital Guardian [Neng Yanwen] overstepped in his defense and injured people, ending up detained in Prison.
Those injured Foolish Underworld officers varied in severity.
